"As many Texans prepare for a three-day weekend and honor our fallen soldiers, one can only hope that Bill White will use this time to prepare the release of his tax returns for his years in public service. As the temperatures continue to rise, so will the heat on the shady businessman to stop hiding the truth and release his tax returns. We hope Bill White has plenty of sunscreen, because it’s going to be a long, hot summer for the liberal trial lawyer who continues to run from his record.”

October 21, 2010
When liberal trial lawyer Bill White ran for Houston mayor in 2003, he was asked, “Which city in the world could best serve as a role model for a future Houston?”
Bill White answer? “Chicago.” [1]
The video “Bill White’s Chicago Way” is available at www.YouTube.com:
“Liberal Bill White’s admiration for the Chicago Way was evident when he steered a contract following Hurricane Rita to a company he had a financial relationship with, then profited from a private investment in the company,” said Texans for Rick Perry spokesman Mark Miner. “While Houston mayor, Bill White met with two other followers of the Chicago Way, then-Senator Barack Obama and his future chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.”
The Associated Press has reported, “Barack Obama, before he became president, leads a list of luminaries who met with White in Houston during his six years leading the nation's fourth largest city, according to mayoral calendar records provided to The Associated Press by Perry's campaign. Former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidates Bill Richardson, John Edwards and Wesley Clark also made the list. There is a phone call with Caroline Kennedy and a meeting with Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who later became White House chief of staff.” [2]
